Patient's question:
I got epididymitis, and after taking medication for half a month, it didn't heal completely. It flared up again, and now I've been taking medication for a month. I feel less pain, but my testicles are slightly larger than before. Besides the lump, am I recovered?Doctor's answer:
In your case, you haven't fully recovered yet, and you need to focus on treatment. If there are no symptoms of pain or discomfort, you may not need medication for now, but you should use a hot towel to apply cold compresses to the scrotum twice a day, each time for 30 minutes. For patients with epididymitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If it is not treated promptly, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly according to their symptoms and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
